At 8:00 tomorrow night in Yost
Field House Rudy Tomjanqvich
will play in his first intercolleg-
iate basketball game for the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
Those who have seen him in
action against the Law Club will
not be surprised when he pops in
his first 25-footer and then go on
to demoralize the Michigan State
freshmen.
Rudy is so good that MSU fresh-
man coach Bob Nordmann stated
flatly, "Tomjanovich? I scouted
hima lot last year. He's way ahead
of anybody we've got over here."
A high school All-America,
Toinjanovich scored more than 27
points per game in the first four'
freshman exhibition games. And
he's been pulled in all four of
those games for a replacement.
Resembles Lafayette
"Tomianovich is somebody very
special-like our Lee Lafayette,"
Nordmann went on. "He's a sure
bet for the next three years."
State coach Nordmann throws
plaudits freely on the freshman
out of Hamtramck High but
Michigan freshman coach Dick
Honig has some reservations. FROSE
"Rudy is a great offensive ma- the ho
chine, but he doesn't play as close averag
a defensive game as I'd like him expect
'to. The problem is that in high advent

the student body free of charge.
The Illini seem to have taken a
hint from the Ohio State football
coupon plan, however, and the
athletic department at Champaign
sets an admission of $.60 for all
sports for those students not pur-
chasing a grid ticket.
Not exactly consistent? Well,
neither is the quality of each in-
stitution's athletic p r o g r a m s.
When a team does win with reg-
ularity, the trend often fore-
shadows a rise in student prices.
Commenting on the non-existent
ticket prices for basketball at
Michigan State, the Spartan man-
ager stated, "Yes, we let students!
in for free, but then again, we
haven't had an outstanding team
in a long time. If one comes along,
the policy will certainly be re-
examined."
Charity at Indiana
The price isn't necessarily al-
ways as high as the quality how-
ever. For instance, Indiana's pow-
erhouse tanker squads have rated
with the nation's top teams for
the past decade. Hoosier students
are still admitted free of charge
to swimming meets, though, and
on the same basis as paying pa-
trons. Conceivably, attendance at
a meet could be entirely students,
if they were first in line for
tickets.
The Wolverines and Spartans'
traditionally compete for the all-
sports crown in the Big Ten, and
are the only two institutions which
maintain high quality in every
sport.
season ticket system for basket-c
ball, the former charging $6 for
nine home games and the latter
asking $7 for eleven backyard en-
counters.c
Pay-As-You-Go
Here in Ann Arbor and also inJ
Iowa City, pay-as-you-go, $1 for
each contest, is the dictating prin-
ciple. And Ohio State manages to
fill its mammath field house reg-
ularly, although ranking at the
top of the list in cage prices. The
Buckeyes also use the football1
coupon as a convenient coercive
device, requiring that each studentl
present his football coupon and+
a crisp dollar bill before watching i
OSU play. But, as all seats in the1
St. John's Arena are reserved, an-
other quarter is added to the 1
ro ,Clash
charge for each basketball fan.
Hockey cops the third place
spot in sports interest, and cor-
respondingly, rates number three
on the ticket- scale. The Spartans
and Ohio State allow admittance
for 25c a game. At $1 a contest,
Michigan's fee is high enough to
warrant a first place tie with Wis-
consin. The Badger ticket man-
ager, Oscar Damman, maintains,
"The only reason we charge for
hockey is because we don't own
the arena."
Michigan's other admission price
holds the distinction of being the
only such charge. For each swim-
ming meet, the Wolverines na-
tator fans pay $1.
The remainder of athletic con-
tests in the Big Ten are open to
The avid Wolverine fan would
be $40 poorer if he attended every
home event during the fall and
winter trimesters. On the other,
hand, his Spartan counterpart
would have to pay only about $15
for the same privilege.
An additional factor which must
be considered in the setting of
student prices by the athletic de-
partments is the amount of each
student's tuition allotted to the
athletic budget, a figure which
varies sharply among conference
members, and partially explains
the difference in prices.
The only way to view your
favorite team and avoid paying in
the Big Ten is to move to Evan-
ston, become a member of the
press corps, or doff a uniform.
The choice is yours.

team's playmaker.
Fishman, whose father played
for Michigan in the "deadball"
era of the late thirties-when a
total score of 80 points for both
teams was considered astronom-
ical-is Honig's main replacement.
When Fishman scores, he does it
with style, either driving in for
an ,underhanded scoop shot or
lofting his left-handed jumper as
if he were aiming for the ceiling.
RED
Rick Bloodworth, the other
starting guard, is hard to miss on
the court. Not- only does his red
hair clash with the blue on his
uniform, but his scoring ability
(16.5 ppg) doesn't go unnoticed
for long by opposing guards.
Honig rates him, along with Tom-
janovich and Henry, in his "good
shot" category. Bloodworth will
have the job of shadowing the
other MSU guard, either 6'3"
Steve Kirkpatrick or 6'2" LaMarr
Thomas.
"The Animal" is 6'5", 205-pound
forward Bill Fraumann - and the
name should stick for awhile. Ho-
nig puts it this way: "If you want
aggressiveness, Fraumann will give
you all you need. He's a madman
on the boards. He'll go after the
ball whether it's in the air or on
the ground. He'll also put defen-
sive pressure on the men he's
guarding."
MSU Coach Nordmann has call-
ed 6'4" forward Bob Gale his
best offensive threat, and Honig
has singled out Fraumann to han-
dle the assignment of holding him.
Fraumann's aggressiveness has
not been all beneficial for both
him and the team. In the four
games he's played in, he's been
whistled for 18 fouls while fouling
out two of those games.
At 6'10" and 200 pounds, cen-
ter Mike Lawson doesn't resem-
ble Michigan's "Bloody Nose Lane"
habitants of the past four years.
Lawson injured his ankle and sat
out the freshnian game before the
Northwestern contest. Then when
he began practicing with the squad
again, he suffered additional mi-
nor but bothersome injuries to the
same foot.
He's shaken those off now, and
Honig has hopes for the Holland
High School product. "Don't let
his weight fool you, he has learn-

H FORWARD Rudy Tomjanovich stuffs the ball through
oop at yesterday's practice session. Standing at 6'7", he has
ged 27.3 points-per-game in four freshman contests, and is
ed to spark the Wolverines ink their first intercollegiate
tore tomorrow night with MSU.
igan State attack Rudy will need
some help. He'll get it from a
couple of pint-size guards, an-
other 6'3" "normal" guard (if you
can be called normal with close-
cropped bright red hair), a for-
ward called "The Animal" by his
teammates, and an underweight
6'10" center with a love for pun-
ishment.
When captain and starting
guard Mark Henry and sixth man
Steve Fishman were asked their
heights for the varsity program,
they probably had illusions of
grandeur when they put down
6'0" and 5'10" respectively. Both
added an inch to their actual
heights for respectability but their
worth can't be measured in inches.
Hoosier Hot-Shot
Henry, who comes from North
Side High in Fort Wayne, Ind.,
missed out on a basketball tender
but could be Michigan's biggest
"walk-on" in several years.
"Henry is our best defensive
guard and I'm going to put him
on Lloyd Ward, State's fastest
player and best driver," said
Honig.
At the other end of the court,
Henry isn't hurting either with an

ed to take a lot of abuse under
the boards. Playing against Tom-
janovich and Fraumann in prac-
tice has built up his stamina."
Even with a Rudy Tomjano-
vich, Honig doesn't think, of the
frosh squad as a one-man team.
"We're just going to run our plays,
getting the 15-foot jumper or lay-
up for anyone who's able to take
it. I think we're going to hurt them
defensively and that's the way we
are going to win."
But oh, can Rudy shoot!

want him to risk fouling out by
guarding his man tightly."
With that type of education,
TomJanovich's' lack of defensive
aggressiveness is expected.; But
what isn't expected is his affinity
for blocking shots.
'Rudy will just wait in the lane
for some guard to shoot through
and go up for a lay-up," remark-
ed one of his teammates. "Then
he'll snuff the poor guy out just
